Uprooted Palestinians are at the heart of the conflict in the M.E Palestinians uprooted by force of arms. Yet faced immense difficulties have survived, kept alive their history and culture, passed keys of family homes in occupied Palestine from one generation to the next.

National socialism won in Scotland (once again) and for a reason. If global capitalism is the disease then national socialism is the remedy.

Labour wasn’t wiped out (as predicted) which suggests that the Jewish siege against Corbyn & Co didn’t dissuade Labour voters. Corbyn may now stand up and clean his party of foreign agents and Zionist oligarchs. Can he do it? Will he do it? I can only hope.

The fact that Labour didn’t increase in popularity after 6 years of austerity suggests that working class people in Britain are not persuaded by the watery Labour agenda. Corbyn ought to capitalise on the huge mandate he received from Labour voters last August. He must cleanse his party of its current purge culture and concentrate on the labouring class.

Yemen’s revolutionary committee stressed that the presence of any foreign forces on the Yemeni territory is an occupation that will be met with resistance.

In a statement released on Saturday, the revolutionary committee denounced the arrival of US Marines in al-Anad air base in the south western province of Lahj, describing it as a dangerous move.

“The free Yemeni people with all its tribes, popular committees and army refuse the presence of foreign forces on its territory, as it consider the US presence a clear colonization,” the statement said.

The revolutionary committee also held the international community responsible for the repercussions of such move due to its silence.

“At a time political efforts are exerted in a bid to put an end to the aggression and the blockade, we stand before a dangerous move represented by the arrival of US invasion forces in the country’s south,” the statement read, according to Yemeni media.

The committee meanwhile, stressed that the Yemeni people are capable of confronting the danger of al-Qaeda and ISIL Takfiri terrorists, which are backed by the Saudi-led aggression.

“We are capable of doing so without any foreign interference.”

“Once again we affirm that the presence of US, UAE and other forces is an occupation aimed at spoiling our country and wealth,” the statement added, stressing that this occupation will be met with resistance by all means.

Yemen has been since March 26, 2015 under brutal aggression by Saudi-led coalition.

Thousands have been martyred and injured in the attack, with the vast majority of them are civilians.

Riyadh launched the attack on Yemen in a bid to restore power to fugitive Hadi who is a close ally to Saudi Arabia.

The British Labour party, it is becoming clear, is now indulging in all-out McCarthyism against the most outspoken critics of Israel in its ranks. And almost no one seems to have the guts to call out this dangerous farce.

It has been widely reported that the Labour party has suspended (at the latest count) 19 activists – a tiny fraction of its more than 400,000 members. But aside from Naz Shah and Ken Livingstone (see my observations about their treatment here) there has been almost no serious coverage of who these people are and what they have supposedly done wrong.

One of the earliest casualties was Tony Greenstein, a Jewish anti-Zionist who, as well as being a fervent supporter of Palestinian rights, has been a vociferous campaigner against Holocaust denial and anti-semitism. He has not even been told the grounds for his suspension.

The latest victims include David Watson for calling Zionism a “racist ideology” – the official position of the UN General Assembly from 1975 to 1991, when the US was able to exert pressure to overturn the resolution following the fall of the Soviet Union.

Even more ludicrous is the suspension this week of Jackie Walker, who is both black and Jewish. Her offence was to talk about her own Jewish ancestors’ involvement in the slave and sugar trades, and point out that an exclusive focus on the Holocaust (of Jews) marginalised another terrible holocaust by Europe – of Africans.

It is quite astounding for those of us who have been fighting to ensure that anti-Zionism and anti-semitism are not conflated to discover that this distinction has been effectively conceded by a Labour party led by Jeremy Corbyn. Now, says Labour, criticising Israel is anti-Semitism – Netanyahu’s wet dream has come true!

We have also reached a point where the only major British political party with even a pretence of opposing imperialism and colonialism is creating taboos around the very issues needed to understand the colonial past of Britain and Europe.

This is little better than book-burning – and if it does not stop soon, Corbyn will have no more claim to leading a party of social justice than Tony Blair.

It’s now clearer than ever: The US are leading a dirty war, under the table, in Syria. This is the true backdrop of the stage play in Geneva, where US diplomats are providing cover and buying time for CIA and Pentagon covert operations on the ground in Syria.

What the US State Department said yesterday is very telling, and should be a clear guide to anyone about what Washington DC’s actual agenda is in Syria:

“We look to Russia… to press for the Assad regime’s compliance with this effort, and the United States will do its part with the opposition,” Wednesday’s statement said. Russia and Iran are the primary backers of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, while the United States heads a group of regional and European countries supporting the opposition to his rule.”

21WIRE editor and global affairs analyst Patrick Henningsen spoke to RT International about what diplomats are doing in Geneva, but more importantly, about what western intelligence agencies and terrorist mercenaries are attempting to pull-off in Aleppo. Watch:

In the same Washington Post report, the so-called “opposition” further underlined the desperate US-led ceasefire ploy:

“The opposition said that it was “impractical to speak of only local cease-fires” and that the cessation of hostilities “must apply to all of Syria, without exception.” A statement issued by Salem al-Meslet, spokesman for the opposition High Negotiations Committee, said that they remained committed to political negotiations to end Syria’s civil war.”

Moreover, readers should also be aware by now that the multi-million dollar public relations and social media campaign entitled #AleppoIsBurning is not ‘grassroots’ at all, and is a 100% Soros-funded US digital media creation which can be classed as ‘marketing for regime change.’ This marketing campaign was triggered by what appears to be a completely fabricated story that was spoon-fed to the western media about an alleged MSF/Doctors Without Borders “hospital” in terrorist-held east Aleppo which “rebels” claimed was hit by “barrel bombs” dropped in Syrian Army “airstrikes.” According to all available evidence, this entire story appears to have been made-up for an eager western media.

Washington’s transparent agenda is now fully exposed. Will their next move be an even more desperate?

On Thursday, UK’s labour party suspended Jackie Walker, vice-chairwoman of Momentum movement over posting historical truth about the “African Holocaust” and Jews as “chief beneficiaries of African slavery at sugar plantation.”

Ms Walker has claimed that she and her partner are both of Jewish descent and are actively involved in anti-racism campaign.

Ms Walker’s claim is not based on her hatred towards Jews, but on historical facts, which like Jewish collaboration with Hitler and Mussolini – the Zionist mafia doesn’t want public to know that their Jew ancestors played a major role not only in African slavery but also in White slavery in the past. In fact, White Christian women from Russia and Ukraine are still used as sex-slaves in Israel, reported by The Times of Israel, November 29, 2015.

Jews owned, insured, and financed slave ships and outfitted them with chains and shackles for the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. They were auctioneers, commission merchants, brokers, and wholesalers, keeping the slave economy oiled with money, markets, and supplies (here).

Dr. Raphael in his 1983 book, Jews and Judaism in the United States: A Documentary History, said:

“Jews also took an active part in the Dutch colonial slave trade; indeed, the bylaws of the Recife and Mauricia congregations (1648) included an imposta (Jewish tax) of five soldos for each Negro slave a Brazilian Jew purchased from the West Indies Company. Slave auctions were postponed if they fell on a Jewish holiday. In Curacao in the seventeenth century, as well as in the British colonies of Barbados and Jamaica in the eighteenth century, Jewish merchants played a major role in the slave trade. In fact, in all the American colonies, whether French (Martinique), British, or Dutch, Jewish merchants frequently dominated. “This was no less true on the North American mainland, where during the eighteenth century Jews participated in the ‘triangular trade’ that brought slaves from Africa to the West Indies and there exchanged them for molasses, which in turn was taken to New England and converted into rum for sale in Africa. Isaac Da Costa of Charleston in the 1750’s, David Franks of Philadelphia in the 1760’s, and Aaron Lopez of Newport in the late 1760’s and early 1770’s dominated Jewish slave trading on the American continent (here).

American Jewish academic and author, Dr. Norman Finkelstein, in a recent interview he gave to Cambridge-based Jewish political researcher, Jamie Stern-Weiner claims that the current witch-hunt of Labour Party by the pro-Israel Jewish-mafia is to discredit the party leader Jeremy Corbyn and destroy the pro-Palestine movement in the UK.

Finkelstein also agreed with former London Mayor Ken Livingstone’s controversial comment, Hitler was a Zionist because both the Nazis and Zionist Jews did cooperate with each other over the transportation of German Jews to British-controlled Palestine.

“The Zionists and Nazis fond a degree of common ground around the emigration/expulsion of Jews to Palestine. It was a paradox that, against the emphatic protestations of liberal Jews, including sections of the Anglo-Jewish establishment, antisemites and Zionists back then effectively shared the same slogan: Jews to Palestine. It was why, for example, the Nazis forbade German Jews to raise the swastika flag, but expressly permitted them to hoist the Zionist flag. It was as if to say, the Zionists are right: Jews can’t be Germans, they belong in Palestine. Hannah Arendt wrote scathingly about this in Eichmann in Jerusalem, which is one of the reasons she caught hell from the Jewish/Zionist establishment,” Finkelstein said.

Minister Farrakhan explain below the victimization of Blacks by the Organized Jewry.

The leader of Lebanon’s resistance movement Hezbollah accuses Saudi Arabia of leading offensives against the movement. Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said Hezbollah has recently been under fierce political and financial pressure from the Saudi regime BUT that the movement would overcome the difficulties. He added that the kingdom has been threatening and blackmailing Arab and Islamic countries to put pressure on the Lebanese resistance movement. According to Hezbollah leader, Saudi Arabia’s financial sanctions on Hezbollah have been futile because the movement enjoys popular support and receives financial aid from ordinary people. Later in his remarks, Nasrallah described Syria as the backbone of the regional axis of resistance. He said Israel has been trying to break the axis since its 2006 war on Lebanon.

Sayyed Nasrallah: Saudi Ties with ’Israel’ Surfaced, Hizbullah in Best Position

Hizbullah Secretary General His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah warned Friday of the Saudi conspiracies against the region, slamming the kingdom’s contacts with the apartheid “Israeli” entity.

Addressing a ceremony organized by Hizbullah to honor the Islamic Resistance Support Organization, Sayyed Nasrallah thanked and hailed the efforts of all people and employees at the organization.

Slamming the “Israeli” continuous aggression against the besieged Gaza strip and its people, he urged people to notice the attacks there.

“As long as there are Resistance fighters, who reject occupation, they will always be under attack,” His Eminence mentioned, pointing out that “The resistance movements in Gaza, Palestine and Lebanon have always been targets for conspirators and they will remain so as long as there is a Zionist scheme.”

“As long as Palestine and parts of Lebanon and Syria are occupied, then the resistance will exist,” he said.

Moving on to tackle the Saudi hostile activities against the Resistance, Sayyed Nasrallah stressed Saudi Arabia is responsible for blacklisting Hizbullah.

“The US and “Israel” are more and more realizing the importance of the resistance’s popular incubator and that’s why they are trying to target it and weaken it.”

However, the Resistance Leader assured that “Hizbullah is in the best case from all sides.

“They wanted to break the resistance’s elements of strength, so they targeted the axis of resistance in Syria…”

On this level, Sayyed Nasrallah elaborated “They think that labeling the resistance as a terrorist organization will undermine the confidence of its supporters. They think that tarnishing its reputation will push people away from it, but those addressing this accusation to us are criminal and terrorist regimes.”

As he deplored the Saudi attempt to depict anyone who backs Hizbullah financially as a terrorist, His Eminence assured that everything that is happening is expected.

“Since 1980s we have been witnessing pressures and systematic wars by different countries…We are still in our best situation.”

Sayyed Nasrallah further stated: “The criminal regimes are falsely accusing Hizbullah of corruption and money laundering in order to destabilize the party.”

“We will endure all the measures taken against us,” he vowed.

Hailing some Muslim countries who refused to surrender to the Saudi orders against the resistance, he thanked the Iraqi, the Tunisian and Algerian positions and the position of Indonesia and all those who stood by and supported the resistance.

“Saudi Arabia forms the spearhead of the existing project against the region and its princes’ contacts with the “Israeli” entity went out to the public. The Saudi-“Israeli” contacts are intensifying and a key prince from the ruling family is meeting with Zionist figures. These contacts have started to surface and in Saudi Arabia they are preparing the atmosphere for boosting the contacts with “Israel”.”

On this level, Sayyed Nasrallah highlighted that the issue of the two islands, which Egypt granted to Saudi Arabia, will be an open door to coordinate with “Israel”.

According to Hizbullah Secretary General, Syria forms the base of resistance in Palestine and Lebanon as he went on to criticize Saudi Arabia for leading the war against the resistance in the region.

“The mask fell [from Saudi Arabia]. They are targeting the resistance’s reputation. All the media, diplomatic and social efforts are focused on deepening the animosity with Iran and the resistance movements and the Saudis are carrying on with their battle.”

On the Iranian level, Sayyed Nasrallah confirmed that Iran with all its parties and different sides support the Islamic Resistance movements and will remain the main supporter.

To [the Leader of the Islamic Revolution] Imam Khamenei who continues to stand and support us financially, morally, and culturally, Sayyed Nasrallah said: “We assure you O Sayyed and Imam: what they aspire is a mere mirage.”

On the Yemeni issue, Sayyed Nasrallah emphasized: “In the Yemeni talks, the other side was listing on the opposition delegation items for surrendering, as if they Yemeni opposition were defeated in Yemen.”

“Saudi Arabia is working to escalate the situation in Yemen and Syria. What is preventing the truce in Syria? And who attacked The Eis hills in the southern countryside of Aleppo?”

In parallel, he asserted that Saudi Arabia is exerting efforts to escalate the situation on the ground in Yemen rather than to preserve the ceasefire. As for Syria, Saudi Arabia is strongly pushing for undermining all kinds of ceasefires, especially in Aleppo.”

“Saudi Arabia is trying to torpedo the negotiations in order to achieve its goals. In Kuwait, it is trying to impose surrender terms but the Yemeni answer was clear: “We came here to negotiate, not to surrender.”

Moreover, His Eminence affirmed that the “resistance fighters who have been fighting for years in Yemen and Syria won’t surrender and pave the way for terrorist Daesh [Arabic Acronym for the terrorist “ISIS”/ “ISIL” group] to rule.”

In Geneva, he went on to explain, “the Syrian opposition delegation that is subordinate to Riyadh procrastinates then goes to the negotiations and says “cede power to us.” If these mercenaries rise to power, will they be able to prevent the fall of Syria into the hands of al-Nusra and Daesh?”

On the regional arena, Sayyed Nasrallah cautioned that time is passing and more maliciousness and bloodshed are expected. “You should pay attention and be cautioned and more present in the military, security and political arenas.”

“No one should be fooled by obtaining radical solutions in the region. We should be aware of the confrontation. There are difficult months as the Saudi continues in in his war and inciting sectarianism. He has no problem in inflaming the region from Syria to Iraq and even Lebanon until the end of the US elections.”

Moving to the Lebanese political front, Sayyed Nasrallah underscored that “there is nothing new in the Presidential file in Lebanon. Part of the solution is Lebanese and the other is in Saudi Arabia.”

“There is nothing new regarding the presidential issue and the accusations that Hizbullah is obstructing the elections have not stopped,” he said.

In addition, His Eminence reiterated: “We do not want to engage in an exchange of tirades with anyone. Those who want the elections to happen must know that part of the solution is in Saudi Arabia and the other part is here in Lebanon.”

To those counting on the Iranian stance from the Presidential file, Sayyed Nasrallah said: “Do not count on Iran’s stances and you better negotiate with the relevant parties.”

On the coming municipal polls, he underlined “the importance” of this event, describing municipalities as “mini-governments.”

“Effective participation is needed in the municipal elections and there should not be any approach of despair,” he said, pointing out that “no one should neglect the elections. On the contrary, people should take an active part by casting their votes,” he emphasized, warning people of forming enmity.”

Sayyed Nasrallah also called “the Lebanese to run for municipal councils and take part in the whole process,” urging Hizbullah’s supporters to abide by the candidate lists formed by the party and its allies in all areas across Lebanon.

“We cannot let the people form their own lists or then hundreds of lists will be established,” he warned. “I am certain no one will be completely satisfied with any list but this is the best possible choice.”

Turkish government shut down Zaman newspaper, previously a strong critic of President Erdogan, which it seized control of in March.

Zaman was taken over by Ankara in early March. Following the seizure, the government immediately appointed new trustees for Feza Media Group, which owned the paper.

A number of other media outlets are also being closed by Ankara, according to CNN Turk.

Police also raided Zaman’s offices to enforce a Turkish court order stating that the media outlet must be brought under government authority. The newspaper’s editor-in-chief, Abdulhamit Bilici, was fired soon after.

Once the state took over, the newspaper soon turned into a government mouthpiece. The first edition under the new ownership featured the image of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Critics slammed the government for the move, with Zaman supporters taking to the streets of Istanbul in protest. Police deployed tear gas, water cannon, and rubber bullets on the demonstrators.

Along with Zaman, a number of other Feza Media Group outlets will be shut down, including Cihan News Agency. Küre.tv will also be closed.

Erdogan has been fiercely criticized for his crackdown on press freedom in recent months, including the pre-trial detention of two journalists who published a report which purportedly showed intelligence officials transporting arms to Syria.

In late April, Turkey barred foreign journalists from entering the country, without providing any explanation for the move.

News of the shutdown of the media publications comes as Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu effectively resigned following a rift with Erdogan, whose leadership has become increasingly authoritarian.

“I would like to point out something, if you open the trending section in Facebook you will see that Aleppo, Syria is trending. They say the Syrian government is continuing air-strikes on Aleppo. The funny thing is we dont see or hear any planes.” ~ Marianne R Bedoun, Aleppo

The following photo was taken from Soros funded ANA Press director, Deiaa Dughmoch’sFacebook page. Translated as Aleppo citizens searching the skies for war-planes. According to Marianne Bedoun, they might be there some time.

Marianne was immediately targeted by hate speech from the followers of mainstream media and the US NATO governed propaganda outlets who are controlling the Aleppo narrative. This from one UK based Facebook responder:

“Its about hiding the truth that Assad is massacring the Syrian people to keep himself in power and the US and NATO are backing him up rather than engaging in any Wahhabi terrorist support operation. Its really quite racist to call those defending their homes and lives NATO backed terrorists but I guess you are so deep in this shit you cant see.” ~ Dick Gregory. [Juggler, also available for childrens parties]

Marianne responded from inside Aleppo:

You are right I am so deep in this I cant exit because I am a Syrian living in Aleppo. And please tell me where did you get your facts? Your brain-washing western media? I am telling you what I see every minute. Racist? We are the ones defending our homes against their brutal ways…hell cannons, hand-made missiles etc every day since day one”

This social media exchange exemplifies the ever widening chasm between the reports from the Syrian people living in areas under siege or occupied by US NATO backed terrorists and the blatant bias from western and gulf funded journalists.

The Pentagon has now designated “information operations” as its fifth “core competency” alongside land, sea, air and special forces. Since October 2006, every brigade, division and corps in the US military has had its own “psyop” element producing output for local media.

This military activity is linked to the State Department’s campaign of “public diplomacy” which includes funding radio stations and news websites. InBritain, the Directorate of Targeting and Information Operations in the Ministry of Defence works with specialists from 15 UK psyops, based at the Defence Intelligence and Security School at Chicksands in Bedfordshire.

In the case of British intelligence, you can see this combination of reckless propaganda and failure of oversight at work in the case of Operation Mass Appeal.

This was exposed by the former UN arms inspector Scott Ritter, who describes in his book, Iraq Confidential, how, in London in June 1998, he was introduced to two “black propaganda specialists” from MI6 who wanted him to give them material which they could spread through “editors and writers whowork with us from time to time”. ~ US Government has Long used Propaganda against the American People

The Aleppo Spin

A very quick look at who has rapidly generated the #AleppoIsBurning campaign that has made red the new black on Facebook and Twitter brings us rapidly to the Purpose Manhattan PR company and their Syria cohorts. Syria Campaign, the White Helmets are implicated and the actual event has been created by none other than Rami Jarrah of Soros funded ANA Press based in Southern Turkey and operating with the explicit approval of chief terrorism supporter, Sultan Erdogan.

Deiaa Dughmoch and Rami Jarrah are co-founders of ANA Press. Sarah Dadouch works for ANA Press and is based in Istanbul, Turkey according to her Facebook page.

Co-initiator of the #AleppoIsBurning campaign is Lilah Khoja who has been instrumental in promoting the “Worldwide Red Protest”. Khoja is on the team of the Karam Foundation as their advocacy co-ordinator. While there is minimal financial information on the Karam Foundation, set up in 2007 by co-founder and CEO, Lina Sergie Attar, Attar is on the board of the Muslim Brotherhood Syrian American Council.

“The Syrian American Council is one of the largest American based Syrian lobbying organizations and key SAC leaders are tied to the Muslim Brotherhood in the US:The last known SAC President was Talal Sunbulli (aka Talal Sunulle ) who was listed as the Syrian coordinator in the international phone book of Muslim Brotherhood members seized by federal investigators during the Holy Land Foundation investigation.

The last known SAC Chairman was Hussam Ayloush, Executive Director of the California office of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), a part of the Us Muslim Brotherhood.
